Manchester's Westy Lane is no longer a safe haven for the working girl. A killer has made it his local hunting ground and leaving the police a very special gift - a tiny Forget-Me-Not flower placed delicately in victims entrails. Lisa Noone is twelve years old and wise beyond her years. She lives in squalor, close to the ever-approaching poverty line. Pat Noone is her mother, a fearsome woman who just happens to be a member of the oldest profession in the book. Together their lives are far from perfect, but they will always have each other. Or will they? One night after a youth club disco, Benny arrives in Lisa's life, saving her from being attacked by two so-called schoolfriends. Benny is tall, dark and in Lisa's eyes the most gorgeous man she's ever seen. Now Lisa has a purpose in life. But Benny is not all he seems. And whilst Lisa wallows in true love she is totally unawares of his real intentions. Benny wants more from Lisa than she will ever know.
